Just got the new FNP-45. Got it home, took pics for my original post on the 45. Then went to the work room to disassemble and clean it.
Found a dent in the barrel. I can't believe it.
On the bottom of the barrel, just ahead of the camming lug is small flat pad, on this pad are stamped the letters "F" and "P". Seems they got the "P" too close to the centerline of the barrel and it printed through onto one of the grooves. I'm sure the barrel is now compromised.
I AM NOT HAPPY.
I guess I'll find out how good Davidson' replacement guarantee is.
The bummer is there are no more black FNP-45s out there, and I WILL NOT accept a duo-tone in replacement.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Spoke with Bob Ailes today.
Had a pleasant discussion about the issue, he seemed genuinely concerned.
FNH will issue a call tag and the weapon will be picked up on Tuesday and sent to the repair center.
He described the process of the marking of the barrel. The "F' is laser engraved, the "P" is stamped. He listened patiently to my description of the problem, and I feel the matter was handled in a very professional manner.
This is good.
I'll keep you all posted.
